Wrong tag count in admin

  • Hi,

    In POSTS – > TAGS I see the tag list and there is a column “count”. When i click on the number either no posts are shown or are way less than what the COUNT shows. For example it shows 9 and when I click on it it shows 4 posts.

    Am i missing something?

    Try:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Also, any op cache or content network cache, as well as Cloudflare, clear those caches.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Thanks for your reply however the plugins nor the theme have anything to do with this(the showing of wrong counts, not root behind the problem). The problem is that the counter is saved in the database as a value which means that if a post is deleted without that field being updated (for whatever reason) then you get wrong counts (wp_term_taxonomy->count).

    There should be a way to reset the counters and the system to re-calculate.

    Now I have to write a script to do this. Not that it will take me much time, but ok.
